Blogging Financial Report November 2015 (2024)

December 1, 2015

Trying a little something new…

I’m beginning to see my blog make the transition from small to medium. And it’s exciting. Keeping track of stats and performance isn’t usually something I’d choose to do, but I feel that it’s time I begin tracking. Both to help benefit me to see progress, but also to offer a little insight and help to other bloggers.

It is possible to make money with your blog. This blog's financial report proves it! Click To Tweet

I don’t expect to make a stay at home income from Because I’m Cheap, but if that does happen, I won’t complain 😉

At the end of every month I will be sharing my financial report for the month. In it there will be an overview of income, expenses, highlights and anything else appropriate. Don’t expect all of my secrets in one place though, lol. However transparency is very important to me. Hopefully that’s obvious by my willingness to share these numbers with you. I honestly do so a little nervously… so here goes… after much hard work, this is how November 2015 on Because I’m Cheap performed.
